I am an ex-police officer, and had been employed for over 30 years in the Fire Protection and Security Industries as an Area Manager, and formerly a Service Engineer and Salesman.
After working with German Shepherds as a dog handler with a well known security company, and having been a pet owner myself (dogs and cats) over a number of years, I decided to start a business doing a job I knew I would love. The year was 2006 and K9 and Felines was formed.
The business has shown steady growth, and in June 2011 we registered as a private limited company trading as K9 and Feline Pet Services Ltd.
As a pet owner myself, I knew the issues faced when travelling, being away from home from time to time and when the holidays came around. I never enjoyed placing my pets into kennels and catteries, even the best ones never came close to substituting for the comfort of my own home environment.
As well as providing a 24/7 Dog Walking Service, if for example you`re out at work all day or simply too busy, K9 and Feline Pet Services will now take care of your pets in the safety and comfort of your own home or one of our host families homes, leaving you to concentrate on having a worry free time, in the knowledge your pets and home have been left in good hands.

GIVING YOUR PETS THE LIFESTYLE THEY DESERVE

I`ve been working for k9 and Felines
for the past two years after finding an
advert in the local job centre .
I was in the army for 5yrs and have
done many jobs in my life time, but
since i`ve been working for David I`ve
finally for the first time in my life found a job where I can honestly say I look forward to going to work (if you can call it that) . I walk a number of dogs over a weekly period and each one is different except for one thing , the WELCOME I get from them all when they know their going out for their walks. The only bad part of the job is when an owner moves away for whatever reason and I lose one of my little friends.
As for k9 and Felines, as a company I`ve found them more like an extension of my family, as we all work together as a team.

I am a huge dog lover and
so when I had the opportunity
to work for K9 & Felines I
knew it would be a job that I
would adore. I received on
the job training on all aspects
of dog walking and care,
including how to make sure
that they are cleaned up before being allowed back into their
homes! I sometimes have to walk 4 or 5 dogs at the same time which is great for them as I like to see them playing so happily together, which is one of the key objectives, and which makes my job so rewarding.Working for David is great as he is a wonderfully caring and considerate person and that is rare to find in a boss!

I really enjoy working for
K9 and Felines as I love
being around dogs. All
the dogs I work with have
quickly become my best
friends, and I look forward
to getting up and seeing
them every day. It is so
lovely to see how excited
they are when you collect
them for their walks. They always have a brillant time running around together, even if it is pouring with rain! Everyone at K9 and Felines is so friendly and we all help eachother out, so it is a great place to work. I'm really pleased I've had thechance to work for them, as it is such a satisfying job.
